The brain worm is the one taking notes, unfortunately it is just as unintelligent as he is.

We’ve talked about Operation Whirlwind before, but the mission keeps expanding, now it’s targeting scientific journals. This week, Ed Martin, the U.S. attorney for D.C., sent an unprecedented letter to CHEST, a medical journal focused on respiratory science, questioning their editorial policies

Protest malarkey April 2, 1 pm at building 31.

This bitch right here never fucking left his office during the RIF’s yesterday. What he did fucking do is get sworn in as commissioner in a fucking private meeting away from those being forced out. If you want to protest this piece of shit, here is your time and place.

It’s just wild that you didn’t mention it at all…. From your audience’s perspective or even potential source’s perspective… you would think that would be worth mentioning?

I read her second post as still only at the direction of the source…. There may be sources that aren’t aware of the “hidden” tracking. I would hope the top priority would be informing and protecting the source. How do journalists ensure there isn’t any tracking info in docs without a comparison?

We second this

Not just this, but health disparities should be a consideration of all clinical research, no matter the condition being studied

ReproductiveRights.gov - Know Your Rights: Reproductive Health Care While Roe v. Wade was overturned, abortion remains legal in many states, and other reproductive health care services remain protected by law.

Trump may have ordered the .gov site taken down, but Wayback has some recent crawls archived.

Assuming the below representation is how it plays out, that's smarmy as hell.

This would add up to another reason why trust in public health is falling: deeply dishonest data manipulation to obfuscate community spread of illness.

A Cautionary Note on Trends in Maternal Death Post-Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health This cross-sectional study examines monthly maternal deaths after the Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health decision.

Study finds claims of declines in maternal deaths after Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health appear to be driven by elevated levels of maternal death during the 2021 spike in COVID-19–related deaths--not because of changes after Dobbs.

100% agree with the “information being needed later on in development”… And would like to add pre-clinical studies are done early because if they were to wait until later on in development, it would be much more costly to the development program overall, they would rather find the issue earlier.

Bluesky,

Today is my 2nd day on here as an escapee from The Bad Place. I am BEGGING y’all to repost this

I have $80,000 in scholarship money to give away to women and girls NATIONWIDE. I worked so hard to raise this money. Applications open THIS week. I’m scared the mass migration will impact this

Agreed. I would advise saving the money and giving yourself those 20 days off.

Can’t go on a winter run without your microspikes/traction system to combat the ice! It would be downright irresponsible.

How formal does my apology to my friends have to be? How much context do I need to give?

You mean the libertarians were wrong?!😱🤯

While we are at it get rid of Citizens United too!

I wouldn’t be surprised if we see more legislation similar to the Dickey Amendment from 1996 (greatly limited federal funding for gun violence research)….It took Congress over 20 years to correct the error and set the record straight. Any ideas on work arounds related to legislation?

This 💯. It will likely be a decade before we get the impact sorted out and get things back on track.

The start to a headline that will send chills down your spine. 🫣

So happy you’re on here! 🥳

We love a linked source ❤️❤️, thank you for sharing this and the above article!

Anxious civil servant is the perfect descriptor 😂, I might have to borrow that.

I think in the near future, it will be especially important to have effective science communicators. As someone who has been doing this for a while, I thought it might be useful to explain my major principles for science communication that I use in my own work 🧵:
